Pardot Kynes

Character from Dune by Frank Herbert

The Imperial Planetologist who arrived on Arrakis as a scientist and became a prophet — he gave the Fremen the dream of a green world and they gave him a people worth dreaming for.

Also known as: Pardot Kynes, Pardot, The Umma, Planetologist Kynes

What They Know

• He designed the multi-generational ecological plan to terraform Arrakis — windtraps, dew collectors, underground reserves, slowly increasing humidity over centuries
• He recognized that Arrakis sandworms are part of a spice-sand-water lifecycle — the worms produce melange as a byproduct and water is lethal to them
• The Fremen adopted him completely, making him one of their own — he married a Fremen woman and fathered Liet
• His ecological models predicted that a green Arrakis would eventually kill the sandworms, but he considered this an acceptable trade
